01 / ABOUT

About Me

I am Ayoub Cherguelaine, an AI engineer specializing in Generative AI, LLMs, NLP, and Data Engineering, with strong software engineering expertise and hands-on experience building scalable AI systems. I design practical language systems and data pipelines that are reliable in production, not only in notebooks. My core focus is applied LLM engineering, retrieval-augmented generation, and model-driven automation.

Verified profile snapshot (September 1, 2026): 60 public GitHub repositories, 40 GitHub followers, 52 public Hugging Face models, and 11 public Hugging Face datasets.

Verification method: public profile counters and linked Hugging Face artifacts were manually verified in a static snapshot on September 1, 2026. Private case-study implementation details are based on local repository inspection and intentionally exclude confidential client data.

Applied LLM Engineering

Designing retrieval and agent pipelines for legal, insurance, and analytics use cases.

Production Delivery

Shipped private client systems with traceability, guardrails, and operational readiness.

Public Artifacts

Publishing selected models and datasets for transparent, reproducible AI work.

02 / PROJECTS

Featured Projects

Production-focused AI systems and data products with detailed implementation notes, confidentiality-safe private case studies, and verified public evidence (snapshot: September 1, 2026).

Company Documents v2 cover

Company Documents v2

Case Study

A reproducible document generator and public dataset of 353,580 English and French business PDFs across 13 document types.

Problem: Document-AI training needs varied business layouts with aligned text, field values, and coordinates for evaluating extraction.

Solution: Built a seeded pipeline that renders documents for 60 synthetic companies, checks text and financial totals, and exports gold fields, word boxes, and degraded scans.

Mustashar Data Platform cover

Mustashar Data Platform

Case Study

An end-to-end platform that collects education regulations, extracts Arabic text, builds document knowledge graphs, and brings pipeline operations into one live admin workspace.

Problem: Regulations, rules, ministry systems, and salary tables arrive in different formats. Collecting them is only the first step: extraction, provenance, storage, and failed processing stages also need to be traceable.

Solution: Built four source pipelines with scheduled execution, resumable stages, Arabic OCR, and PostgreSQL/Neo4j loading, alongside a Next.js monitor for inspecting documents, tracking costs, and managing operations.

AI Legal Assistant cover

AI Legal Assistant

Case Study

A stream-first legal document analysis assistant that processes uploaded PDFs through extraction, note generation, precedent retrieval, comparison, and staged prediction refinement.

Problem: Batch-style legal analysis flows produced delayed final answers with little transparency into intermediate extraction, retrieval, and reasoning quality.

Solution: Implemented a FastAPI `/process_doc_stream` pipeline backed by `StreamingLegalCaseProcessor`, using SSE events, token-aware chunking (`cl100k_base`), Pinecone similarity lookup, multithreaded case comparison, and incremental prediction refinement.

Jurai Assurance — AI Flight Claim Assessment cover

Jurai Assurance — AI Flight Claim Assessment

Case Study

A Danish and English flight-claim assessment app that turns journey details and supporting documents into a provisional assessment, then an optional legal review with archived source quotes.

Problem: Passengers need a clear way to assess disrupted flights, bring together tickets and airline messages, and understand which facts and legal sources support a claim.

Solution: Built a Next.js case room and FastAPI backend with a guided claim form, local PDF extraction and Tesseract OCR, bundled airport lookup, and two-stage LLM assessment. The deeper review retrieves passages from 36 bundled legal records and returns reasons with validated citation IDs and exact archived quotes.

QueryLens — Conversational Data Analytics cover

QueryLens — Conversational Data Analytics

Case Study

A conversational analytics workspace for CSV, SQLite, and PostgreSQL data, with inspectable SQL, query evidence, and downloadable written reports.

Problem: Exploring unfamiliar tables takes SQL knowledge, while a fluent AI answer alone does not show which data or queries support its claims.

Solution: Built a source-aware analyst that inspects schemas, samples tables, executes guarded read-only SQL, and answers from observed results. Users can import datasets, select tables, follow tool activity, and request written analysis.

BART-MNLI CNN News Zero-Shot Classifier cover

BART-MNLI CNN News Zero-Shot Classifier

Case Study

A BART-MNLI model adapted to CNN news for topic classification through the Hugging Face zero-shot pipeline.

Problem: News categorization needed a reusable model that could score candidate topic labels in a standard inference workflow.

Solution: Fine-tuned facebook/bart-large-mnli on CNN articles and published the model, tokenizer, and a Transformers inference example.

Open-Source OCR Service cover

Open-Source OCR Service

Case Study

A self-hosted FastAPI service that turns images and multi-page PDFs into page-level text using Unlimited-OCR on an NVIDIA GPU.

Problem: Document pipelines needed local OCR with predictable API responses and controls for GPU memory, long outputs, and invalid uploads.

Solution: Wrapped Unlimited-OCR in two upload endpoints: a base mode for accurate extraction and a crop-based long-document mode with optional repetition control.

Drive-Like Document Management Platform cover

Drive-Like Document Management Platform

Case Study

A self-hosted Drive-like platform with AI-powered document classification and a full-stack interface.

Problem: Teams needed a private document workspace with semantic search and classification, without relying on public cloud storage.

Solution: Built a full-stack document management platform with upload, storage, metadata management, and AI classification integration for automatic document tagging and retrieval.

Letter of Credit Management Web Application cover

Letter of Credit Management Web Application

Case Study

A private web application for managing importation and LC (Letter of Credit) workflows in Algeria.

Problem: Import and LC tracking relied on fragmented spreadsheets and manual coordination, leading to status and documentation errors.

Solution: Built a private full-stack web application to manage importation workflows, LC documentation, status tracking, and stakeholder notifications.

Saudi Arabic Dialect NLP Models cover

Saudi Arabic Dialect NLP Models

Case Study

A collection of Saudi Arabic dialect models for dialect-specific NLP and conversational applications.

Problem: Most Arabic NLP resources focus on MSA, leaving Saudi dialect under-served for intent detection and conversation.

Solution: Developed and fine-tuned models targeting Saudi Arabic dialect for classification and conversational tasks, with dataset and artifact preparation for reproducibility.

BERT Fine-Tuned on arXiv Metadata cover

BERT Fine-Tuned on arXiv Metadata

Case Study

A text-classification checkpoint fine-tuned from `bert-base-uncased` and published as `AyoubChLin/bert-finetuned-Arxiv`.

Problem: Academic metadata classification needed a reusable baseline model that could be quickly integrated into search/indexing experiments.

Solution: Trained and published a BERT classifier through the Hugging Face Trainer workflow with full training-table metrics in the model card.

Case Study

A full-stack personal finance application built with Next.js for expense tracking, budgeting, and financial insights.

Problem: Users needed an intuitive self-hosted finance tool with modern UX, without relying on third-party services for sensitive transaction data.

Solution: Built a Next.js full-stack app with authentication, transaction management, budget tracking, and data visualization, with a responsive UI and reliable state management.

LFM2.5-2.6B Fable5 Coding Agent cover

LFM2.5-2.6B Fable5 Coding Agent

Case Study

A lightweight coding-agent model fine-tuned from LFM2.5-2.6B on an agentic coding dataset, optimized for local inference.

Problem: Local coding assistance needed a lightweight instruction-following model with agentic behavior, rather than large general models.

Solution: Full fine-tuned LFM2.5-2.6B Fable5 on an agentic coding dataset, optimizing for local inference constraints while preserving instruction-following behavior.
